I hear so much all the time about how there's too much sex in romance, about book covers with half naked men, and about the joys and benefits of asexuality, and I never say a word. I smile and I listen. But when I see articles like this one, I smile even more.

Washington D.C. is about to get slammed with one of the biggest snow storms in years and gay guys have been posting in the M4M section of Craigslist seeking "Blizzard Buddies" that will help get them through the storm, so to speak.

Here's one post:

Plowing the plow guy? – m4m

So here’s the deal I’m plowing snow in a
neighborhood off of west ox near the silver diner and want to warm up
later tonight with a nice guy and let him have some fun with me as for
me I’m white I’m twenty three I’m in decent shape and have pics to share
upon request hit me up lets have some fun.

And here's another:

Pre-snow blow – m4m

GL and fit prof running errands before
storm and would like to find a hosting bud for m2m relaxation.
Massage/makeout/body contact/JO/oral. Looking for now, you host, be fit
and close to my age.

I don't really like to get into these topics because it seems that whenever someone does there's some kind of backlash. All I know is there is a lot of anger out there coming in all directions and I don't see anyone who is actually able to pull things together. And that's a shame, because that's what people need now more than ever. It doesn't have to be this way, not forever.

In any event, Sam Smith made a few comments recently and he wound up explaining himself on social media:

“For the record, I was merely sharing an experience I had
in the hope it would draw attention to ridiculous it is to be racist in
2016. This is not about me in any way, it’s about a deep rooted issue
we have in our society that should now be extinct.”

“I don’t profess to know or remotely understand what it means to be
on the receiving end of racial abuse, but having been bullied my whole
life for being gay, what I do know is that it is wrong and completely
unacceptable. Here’s to people being allowed to be people.”

I actually think people are tired of racism, and by that I mean ALL racism.

It’s 2016, and if you still haven’t discovered the
comfort of moisture wicking underwear, we have a New Year’s resolution
for you. Moisture wicking underwear
is all about the fabric. Cotton and other plush fabrics are so
absorbent that they’re slow to dry and can result in some uncomfortable
situations. Moisture wicking materials are absorbent too, but they dry
more quickly, thanks to science and some innovative underwear tech.

There's much more here. It's an advertorial, but it's actually one of the more interesting I've seen lately. And, there are some very excellent photos.

Fangsters: Clan of the Jersey Boys

At a glance, Anton Pagano looks and sounds just like any other twenty-something. He lives in a mansion in northern New Jersey with his mom and dad, and he's never had to worry about anything other than his wardrobe, his latest new car, and the secret love affair he's been having for years. However, Anton has more than just the love affair to hide: he belongs to a Sicilian vampire mobster clan that migrated to New Jersey in the late 1800s.
